Kenyan university staff unions have called off their 49-day strike after reaching an agreement with the government to release Sh7.8 billion for salary arrears and part of the 2021–2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

• The strike by the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU), Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU), and Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied Workers (KUDHEIHA) ended after a deal for payments in November 2025 and July 2026.
• Dr. Constantine Wasonga, UASU Secretary-General, confirmed the unions accepted the offer, paving the way for immediate resumption of learning.
• Julius Ogamba, Education Cabinet Secretary, welcomed the resolution, emphasizing the government's commitment to improving staff welfare and ensuring quality education.

The Kenyan government will clear the remaining Sh7.76 billion owed to public university staff from the 2017–2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in phases over the next three years.

• The total cost for implementing the CBA, including pension liabilities, stands at Sh16.57 billion.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi confirmed that Sh8.6 billion has already been disbursed towards the agreement.
• This decision follows a March 2025 Court of Appeal ruling that upheld full implementation of the CBA.

The National Treasury has raised Sh104 billion through a bridge facility under the Kenya Roads Bond programme to address outstanding payments to road contractors.

• Sh93 billion has already been disbursed to contractors.
• The funds were raised using the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) as collateral.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi stated that a larger Sh175 billion bond issue is expected later this month to finalize the securitization plan.
